BARRE, MA - August 6, 2007 - Innovative Incentives, Inc. announced today that it offset its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's leading carbon reduction and offset organization. Innovative Incentives, a full service incentive travel company, has also begun a new program "Think Green; Be Green", in order to offer carbon offset options to its corporate clientele. This practical step highlights Innovative Incentives' commitment to be a leader in the New England region.
Innovative Incentives' stockholders, employees, clients, and partners are very concerned about global warming. Considering the implications of climate change, carbon offsets through Carbonfund.org are a natural extension of the work Innovative Incentives does on behalf of its local business community.
"We are delighted to begin our partnership with Carbonfund and continue our commitment to lessen the impact on our environment in our business practices and as members of our communities." Sarah Dion, Director, Innovative Incentives
"Innovative Incentives understands that changes in our climate and our environment can have a negative affect on their customers and on the travel industry," said Steve Offutt, Senior Advisor at Carbonfund.org. "We are pleased that they are stepping forward to join us in this important cause."
Carbonfund.org is a non-profit organization whose goal is to make carbon offsets and climate protection easy, affordable and a normal way of life for every individual and business. Carbon offsets enable individuals and businesses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in one location, where it is cost effective, to offset the emissions they are responsible for in their normal activities, like home, office, driving or air travel emissions. For instance, a clean, zero CO2 wind farm can offset the carbon dioxide produced by a coal-fired power plant. By supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects, Carbonfund.org will retire an equivalent amount of carbon offsets. The money from these offsets supports the continuing development of clean, renewable sources of energy.
